About the Carrier
This local construction-hauling operation supports contractors, excavation crews and paving projects throughout the Boise metropolitan area. The work centers on dependable material delivery, safe equipment operation and practical coordination between drivers, quarry personnel and job-site supervisors. A typical day involves several loading and unloading cycles rather than long-distance travel. Work volume follows construction schedules, with busier periods during the warmer months and occasional schedule adjustments when weather or project activity changes. Drivers are expected to communicate clearly, protect equipment, follow site-specific safety rules and keep delivery records accurate. Dispatch and maintenance coordinate assignments and equipment availability as daily conditions change.

Q: How much can a local aggregate driver earn in Boise? ▼
Typical gross earnings are $1,400–$1,750 per week at $28–$32 per hour. Actual pay depends on hours worked, overtime and assigned projects.
Q: Is this a home-daily CDL-A job? ▼
Yes. Routes are local to the Boise and Treasure Valley area, and drivers normally return to the local yard at the end of the shift.
Q: What materials will I haul? ▼
Loads typically include crushed rock, gravel, sand, road base and fill material for excavation, roadwork and construction projects.
Q: Do I need previous dump-trailer experience? ▼
Dump-trailer or aggregate experience is preferred. Applicants with at least one year of commercial driving experience may be considered if they demonstrate safe driving and the ability to learn site procedures.
Q: What schedule should drivers expect? ▼
The usual schedule is Monday through Friday, with early starts around 5:00–6:30 AM. Occasional Saturday work may be available during busy construction periods.
Q: How does a typical loading and delivery cycle work? ▼
Drivers check in at the loading site, confirm the material and scale ticket, deliver to the assigned project, follow site unloading instructions and return for another load when dispatched.
Q: Is overtime included in the advertised weekly pay? ▼
The weekly estimate reflects a combination of regular and qualifying overtime hours. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours, subject to applicable rules.
Q: Does construction work slow down in winter? ▼
Aggregate volume commonly increases during spring, summer and fall. Frozen ground, snow and project schedules can reduce winter hours or change daily assignments.
Boise offers a varied CDL-A employment market, with local construction hauling competing alongside regional dry van, refrigerated freight, food distribution, fuel delivery and less-than-truckload operations. Aggregate and dump-trailer drivers are particularly relevant during the active building season, when contractors need reliable coverage and experienced operators who can work safely around heavy equipment. Local construction employers commonly use hourly pay with overtime, while regional and OTR carriers more often use cents-per-mile or mileage-plus-accessorial structures. Local schedules generally offer daily home time; regional positions may provide weekly returns, and OTR work can require multiple weeks away. Experienced dump-trailer drivers with clean records can compete for better assignments, although openings and hours fluctuate with project volume and winter weather.
The Boise freight base combines residential development, road construction, excavation, commercial building and concrete production across the Treasure Valley. Aggregate operations supply crushed stone, sand, gravel and engineered fill to grading crews, paving contractors and construction sites. I-84 links Boise with Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell, while I-184 and connecting state highways support shorter urban and suburban delivery legs. Dump-trailer work typically follows a repeat-cycle pattern: quarry check-in, loader service, scale verification, delivery-ticket handling and controlled unloading at the project. Loads may be redirected when a site is not ready or a pit develops long queues. Spring through fall usually brings stronger construction demand; winter freezing, snow and wet access roads can restrict dumping conditions and reduce cycle counts.
